The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 154

Neah.

“Hi Eric.” I mutter as he slips in my room. “Is everything okay?”

“It’s fine." He mutters, locking the door. "Dane just wants you to stay here for now.”

“Why?”

“No particular reason.”

‘He’s lying.’ Nyx mutters

‘I know.’ I spit back

Eric doesn’t look at me as he moves around the room and checks the windows.

“You know if someone wants to get in, they can just break the glass.”

He avoids my gaze.

“It’s back isn’t it? The Rogue Lycan. That’s why you are here and Damien has gone.”

He gives me a weak smile. “It wasn’t that long ago that you didn’t really say what was on your mind. Keeping your thoughts to yourself and not wanting to know the truth.”

“Dane has gone after it, hasn’t he?”

“He’s with Damien and Klaus, yes.”

“Dane told me what Damien said about the Rogue. How they like to play games? If you are checking everything is locked, you think it’s going to come here, don’t you? You think it’s going to come for me?”

"It's just a precaution. We don't know what it wants."

"Where?"

Eric doesn't answer me.

"Eric, tell me."

“It was at the hospital. It has Raven.”

“What? Why?” I stare at him, why hadn’t he just told me that in the first place?

‘He’s not stupid, he knows you will want to help.’ Nyx murmurs

“I don’t know. All I know is that it was at the hospital when Raven linked Dane.”

“And?”

He blocks the door. “I can’t let you go, Neah. Danes orders!”

“Move Eric!”

“I need to protect you.”

“Then come with me.” I glare at him.

“Dane is going to kill me.” He mutters as he steps to one side

“Then don’t let anything happen to me.” I snap as I stride through the door.

Eric follows me through the house, insisting that this is a mistake.

I swing around to face him. “Maybe it is, but Raven doesn’t deserve this. They were all turned because of me. And now, because there is one that has taken it too far, she might die. I can’t let that happen, Eric. If she hadn’t been around when Veronica drugged me, I wouldn’t be here today. So please, be on my side and help me find her.”

He nods his head at me and we quickly make our way down to the forest.

I step into the forest quietly and ask Nyx to block Dane. I knew he had asked me not to do that, but I didn’t need him worrying about me when his sister was missing. Only Eric is to know I am here.

Moving quickly, my legs seemed to know exactly where I wanted to go, carrying me without question.

I’m not sure how far we have travelled before I hear a scream. A scream that sounded like Raven.
